Journal ArticleDOI
Platelet function, thromboxane formation and blood pressure control during supplementation of the Western diet with cod liver oil.
TL;DR: Whatever the mechanism, this moderate supplement of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids markedly changed membrane phospholipids, which was associated with a shift toward less reactive platelets and a blunted circulatory response to pressure hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical evidence of platelet activation in patients with persistent unstable angina.
Christian W. Hamm,Reinhard Lorenz,Walter Bleifeld,Wolfram Kupper,Wolfgang Wober,Peter C. Weber +5 more
TL;DR: Enhanced thromboxane production as an index of platelet activation may identify patients with active thrombus formation who could benefit most from platelet inhibitory treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma catecholamines, platelet aggregation and associated thromboxane formation after physical exercise, smoking or norepinephrine infusion.
TL;DR: Data do not support a role of endogenous catecholamines in initiating platelet activation and TXB2 formation, and plasma norepinephrine levels in the same range significantly reduced platelet aggregation with low-dose collagen, 1- epinephrine and ADP.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conversion of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid to prostanoids and leukotrienes in man.
TL;DR: Several independent lines of evidence suggest that changes in the natural history of hypertensive, atherothrombotic and inflammatory disorders may be achieved by altering the eicosanoid precursor availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspirin-induced decline in prostacyclin production in patients with coronary artery disease is due to decreased endoperoxide shift. Analysis of the effects of a combination of aspirin and n-3 fatty acids on the eicosanoid profile.
Thomas Force,Richard V. Milani,Patricia L. Hibberd,Reinhard Lorenz,Waltraud Uedelhoven,Alexander Leaf,P C Weber +6 more
TL;DR: Moderate-dose ASA taken once daily has no effect on PGI3 production despite significantly reducing PGI2 production and suggests that endothelial cell cyclooxygenase is minimally inhibited by such doses of ASA and does not negate the potentially beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids on the eicosanoid profile.
